Significant estimates include the value of derivative instruments, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the net realizable value of inventory, the useful life and value of property and equipment, the value of stock-based compensation and income taxes.

ASU No. 2016-13, as amended, significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein.

This settlement award, as well as other costs incurred by the Company directly associated with the Action, exceeded the Company's retention limit of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for a "securities claim" under its directors and officers insurance policy. According to ASC 450, a recovery related to a contingent loss (e.g., insurance recovery) is a contingent gain. Recovery of a recorded contingent loss shall be recognized only when realization of the recovery is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a receivable of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which includes the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$4.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> settlement fee and certain other costs in excess of the Company's retention, as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2019</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Of the remaining </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.5 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> was recorded as an increase to inventory as the goods have not yet been sold and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> was recorded as an offsetting receivable because the Company believes this amount, which represents the portion of duties owed for equipment transferred to foreign subsidiaries for sale, is recoverable as a duty drawback. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company plans on filing a protest against this ruling to challenge the classification and reduce the amounts owed. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it may be successful in achieving a favorable outcome; as such, the Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency and may record any such gain from a reimbursement or change in ruling in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Business Economic Loss Claim</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2018, the Company concluded the settlement of a business economic loss claim in which it was an absent member in a tort class action lawsuit. The Company is due proceeds of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.4 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, net of legal fees, related to this settlement. The Company received the first installment of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in January 2019. The final installment of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.7 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> is expected to be received in January 2020 and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019. The Company evaluated the facts and circumstances surrounding this settlement and determined that under ASC 450, this contingent gain was considered realizable as the signed settlement was enforceable, the counterparty had the wherewithal to pay the amount and the proceeds met the definition of an asset. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded the present value of the proceeds of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$6.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and a discount of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The present value of the net proceeds of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$6.8 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> was recorded in other income on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. The discount of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$0.6 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> was recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being accreted to interest income over the term of the receivable using the effective interest method.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Other Litigation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:20px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:20px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation matters or subject to disputes or routine claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:20px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:20px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In management's opinion, there is no pending litigation, dispute or claim, other than those described in this report, which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.</font></div></div>
